Well, they say the strength of a team is defined by the bench. For the first time ever I had to swap out a blade. The Super-Max felt dreadful, not to say a little dangerous so it was replaced after about 75% of my first pass. It was the right decision. After that no problems at all.

Good luck to England in all forms of sport today.

Haven't bought any new software for ages. The Jabonman smells ‘interesting' in the jar but amazing on your face, lathers like the devil as well. Happy Days.

vintage Plisson badger
'Webly'/Filomatic Titanio (NOS)
The Soap Opera Himalaya SS
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Ungaro2 EdT (vintage juice with lots`of civet)


Same razor/blade combo these last three days. The first time, I underestimated how sharp these old blades are and got a few vampire butterfly kisses on my neck (these leave tiny red spots) as a result. Last two shaves I have been more attentive and everything's fine. I wouldn't rate it as an especially forgiving blade, maybe a little bit more than a Feather would be. The Good Doctor nailed me pretty well this time.....gotta love a snake oil salesman with nice stuff. Thanks for the new little addition to the Dodgy Congress of chattering monkeys.

These are one interesting blade. Really smooth, maybe because of how sharp they are or the coating or both or none of the above. Doesn't matter........these are really nice blades. They remind me of a Personna74 performance wise, although no idea how many shaves the Titanio will provide. Pretty surprising old Spanish blade.

It's rare having this EdT call to me, but today I knew right away it was time for a spritz or two. Unique frag that causes all the cats in the neighborhood to follow me around. Nice NOS estate sale find from years ago.

BBS results,

Martin
